Top Available Games to Inspire You to Train Hard and Get Ripped

When talking about great games that feature incredibly athletic people performing awe-inspiring moves, we have to hope that AEW: Fight Forever will become that game. Of course, the title from Yuke’s and THQ Nordic doesn’t have a firm release date at this time, while WWE 2K23 is slated for a March 17 launch.

In the meantime and beyond, there are loads of great games to try out that are not only fun to play, but will inspire you to hit the gym, train hard, and get ripped. From the smallest screen all of the way to the most futuristic of platforms, here are the games that you should try out for that surge of energy.

Punch Club

There are many different takes on the fighter management and combat sports simulation genres in gaming, and so few of them are very good. One of the best, however, is from indie developer Lazy Bear Games. Available on all gaming platforms – including Nintendo 3DS – the core of the game is training your fighter in whichever disciplines you choose to get them fit and learn more powerful moves.

As well as this training and fighting element, you need to shop for supplies, explore the city, complete side quests, and make your way through the story that may or may not feature mutant ninja reptiles somewhere on the map. Above all else, the training and tactical fighting elements work really well, and soon, there’ll be a sequel, Punch Club 2: Fast Forward.

Beast Mode

As you can tell from the title, Beast Mode is very much a game fixated on the art of bulking up and making the most of the might gained through pain. Found at online mobile casinos that host Relax Gaming slots, Beast Mode is an instantly eye-catching game even among the live and RNG casino games available on the go because of its therianthropic characters (humans with animal heads, like ancient Egyptian gods).

Given a 4.6 out of 5 overall review score with the mobile casino from over 2,000 votes, it boasts 4,096 paylines, a 96.32% RTP, and a bunch of mighty features. In the free spins mode, you’ll get to pick from three features. The Mystery Symbol feature sees a Ripped Rhino come in to smash the Expand Bomb for more spins, while the Punk Croc will launch Petrol Bombs to up the Multiplier Ladder. Alternatively, you can call on the King Shark to bring on the Expanding Wilds.

What better way to be inspired by a game to get active than a title that requires you to move around? Creed: Rise to Glory is one of the better active virtual reality games to be released, putting you behind the gloves for fights against a whole host of mean and muscle-bound stars from across the Rocky-Creed universe – and some extras to help you climb the ladder.

Unlike many other boxing games with motion controls or in VR, Creed: Rise to Glory isn’t so much about maximizing movement and is more about precision and gameplay within boxing. You’ll need to block, time punches, and out-maneuver your foes. That said, in the training elements, you’ll also need to bust a sweat to succeed and get ready for your next bout.

Get yourself in the mood for some high-octane training with these great games!
